WHAT IS THE FALL AND
BALANCE CENTER?
CMU's Fall and
Balance Center focuses on fall prevention assessment,
rehabilitation for balance disorders as well as those with
medical conditions that predispose them to a risk for falling.
Among its key features, the center:
-
Accepts patient
referrals from physicians.
-
Complements
services offered by area health care providers.
-
Ranks as a
charter member of the Michigan Fall Prevention Partnership.
-
Enhances health
student education and gives specialized service with
state-of-the-art equipment, including a NeuroCom Unit, which
tests balance with a computer evaluation - the only such
equipment north of Ann Arbor.
The
Fall and Balance Center for Assessment and Rehabilitation
(FBC) is a collaborative effort of the Carls Center for
Clinical Care and Education, the Bridges Center for Healthy Life
Transitions, the Communication Disorders and Rehabilitation and
Medical Sciences Departments within the Herbert H. and Grace A.
Dow College of Health Professions. The long term goal is to
become a state-of-the-art clinical and education facility that
specializes in Fall and Balance Assessment and Rehabilitation
that will provide unique educational and clinical opportunities
for students to blend theory with practice by partaking in
clinical service to the larger community.
